Fantastic Day... Friday's are fun

Today was a great day... I was able to get some studing done in the morning and afternoon hours, and then around lunch I went to the gym to get a good workout in. Ran 2 miles on the tread mill pace at 13'28", lifted weights and stretched...

Looking onto tomorrow, I have a 6-7 mile long slow run to complete... on the roads.. supposively we are to get some more snow tonight, hoping it will be just a light dusting. I am somewhat excited for my half marathon coming up in May.

Wishing everyone a great day and a happy safe weekend.

January 3rd marks the first day of my training program...

For what you might ask... well my dear sweet friend Patty invited me to participate (or suffer) with her in a half marathon this spring. It will occur in Urbana Illinios on May 1, 2010. A nice (or so I hear) town, flat cource, and tons of supporters.

How fitting that my training program starts with a day of rest... I like rest... I would like rest a whole lot more if it also allowed my body to instantly transform into the long distance, faster runner I want to be.

This is mark a 17 week period of my life where I will have to put myself first... literally... I need to be up for each workout a 4:30 in the morning...

So wish me luck, I will report on my success tomorrow!
